Home > Connection Oriented routing
For connection oriented routing, a virtual, temporary circuit between the receiver and sender is established. The virtual circuit would appear to the application as a point to point circuit switching. It is however, an implementation of store and forward switching. A routing decision would next be made by the network layer as to when a network connection would be established. Network packets would then be transmitted via the route established. Packets in the same message would therefore arrive at the same destination in the same order they were sent. Connection oriented routing however has greater overhead compared to connectionless routing because the sender must first open the circuit, sending a control packet that instructs intervening device along the route to establish the circuit routing. Upon its successful completion, a control packet would again be transmitted to close the circuit.
